    I don't write in chronological order, so I will say in the notes where each story falls chronologically.

    Summary

    "I am a soldier. Or I was, once."

    The mermaid confesses it like he’s ashamed, his voice quiet in Buck’s brain, softer than it’s been so far.

    “Not anymore?” He asks, because how could he not? He has so many questions, ones that he’s not sure he’ll even ever have the time to ask.

    Eddie didn’t answer right away. He simply looked at Buck, eyes dark and unreadable behind the distorted glass. Then he raised one hand and pressed his fingers against the barrier between them, the tips of them ghosting over the surface like he was remembering how it felt to touch something real. He tapped once. Then again.

    Tink, tink.

    The sound was delicate, but it echoed like a bell in Buck’s head.

    Summary

    Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.

    Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.

    So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.

    Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

    Summary

    “I just introduced myself,” Jayce repeats defensively. He’s not sure what’s wrong with that, but the look on Viktor’s face is withering.

    “You gave Singed your name,” Viktor says bluntly, “Offered it up on a platter, and he took it from you. He holds your name now, and he is free to command you as he sees fit.”

    Jayce’s brain short-circuits. “What?”

    Viktor walks over to one of the many piles of books and picks up one of the thicker, dustier tomes. “Humans are all the same,” he mutters. “You all are obsessed with the arcane and what can be done with it, but you never take the time to learn the rules.”

    --

    After Viktor goes missing, Jayce takes matters into his own hands, then accidentally gets himself imprisoned right alongside his partner. Or, the fae-au.

    Summary

    'Do you enjoy sex, Jayce? You seemed a little…in your head.'

    'I was fine.' Jayce says, a little too quickly, his pulse a little too fast. 'Was it...bad?'

    'Not at all. I had a good time. It was a change of pace, if truth be told. I always imagined that out of the two of us, it would be me in control of things.'

    ---

    In which they have a breakthrough in the lab, and then another in Viktor's bed.
